Redemption's Table with Robert Barge
by Redemption's Table
Welcome to Redemption’s Table – a fresh ingredient podcast. Every week I will sit down to this table with a Special Guest, share a restaurant meal or cup of coffee or an ice cream cone, and engage in a recorded podcast conversation, on site, with redemption as the main course. You’re invited to join in on this flavorful adventure that will accentuate the reality of redemption in the lives of everyday people like you and me. A reality that, I believe, finds its ultimate expression in Jesus of Nazareth, Who is the “not-so-secret ingredient” to the redemption we all seek.

On the Precipice of Everything
Welcome to the first fresh Table of the year! During the 12 days of Christmas, I came across a sentence fragment recorded on my Notes App back in 2024. Just five words - "On the Precipice of Everything." And I wondered - "What was going in my life in that season that drew me to such a pinnacle of...

The Beckoning
Sometimes we all need to be still and let our souls catch up with our bodies. The One Who created the earth and everything in it, including you and me, designed us that way. And our world, and our culture, and the news, and social media, and our phones, and our jobs and our choices and even our...

Andrew Osenga: Beatitudes & Ninja Moves
A Conversation with Special Guest: Andrew Osenga I first met Andrew Osenga earlier this year at a retreat I was attending. I walked up to him and asked, "How do you feel about Jesus' beatitudes?" His ecstatic response led to an on-the-spot invitation to come to The Table. Andrew is a prolific...

Resistance
There's a quote from one of my favorite western movies I have taken to heart these past few months in light of all the escalating tension across our nation and around our world. In a way I've never considered before, it sets the table for what might take place if we dared to follow Jesus'…

Pasó Por Aquí
Out in the New Mexican landscape three Spanish words were carved in stone 442 years ago - “Pasó Por Aquí.” Translation: “Passed this way.” "Passed by here." Pasó Por Aquí. You can breathe these words wherever you find yourself today. Because wherever your journey has taken you at this moment…

Follow the Bliss
"The world will never starve for want of wonders; but only for want of wonder." - G.K. Chesterton We all need to be reminded. We can't manufacture our own wonder. Sure, we can prime the pump to set our hearts in the right direction to receive. But if we're looking for Christmas to be one or two...

Reset to Advent
We're halfway through Advent. Today is December 12. And someone out there feels the crush of the season. The thought of "only 12 more shopping days left" bears down on you like an avalanche. You're rushing through December like Tom Cruise out to save the world one more time, caught up in an...

Thanksgiving
It's how I begin every day. Thanksgiving is the single most spiritual practice that keeps me grounded daily in the goodness of God. Four good friends accepted my invitation to gather at the Table this week to share their Thanksgiving for 2024. You may notice a common theme. All four have...

Soul's a Camera
You are a human GoPro and your soul is recording every nanosecond of your life! To some degree, you're taking it all in. Your internal audio and video recorders are receiving data at an incredible shutter speed. And even though your memory capacity is enormous, you can't recall it all, but it is...

The 3-Day Effect
There's a phenomenon that takes place within us when we spend three days in the great outdoors. It's called "the 3-day effect." Three days in nature can reset our brains. And after those three days, our ability to problem solve goes up, our inductive reasoning goes up, and we become more…

A Confluence in the the Desert
Confluence. A place where two or more rivers or streams merge together. Confluences fill me with wonder. I want to journey upstream to find the headwaters of every tributary. A confluence is kind of like a reversed fork in the road made of water. Wherever you are right now is a confluence. Think...

Presuming To Be Holy Spirit
The Holy Trinity is a wondrous mystery. You know the certainty of the Truth of it - and yet, it blows your mind. Absolutely amazing how Truth and Wonder come together in the glorious reality of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. But there is also an unholy trinity that lurks...

A Soul's Pace, A Soul's Portion
Your soul has a unique speed. It is not in a hurry. It does not travel at the speed of our world nor our culture. It travels at the speed of Light - the Light of the world. Your soul is in need of nourishment. It must be fed and there is only one real source of food. C.S. Lewis wrote, "God…

Drawn In to the Pixels
I remember my family's first color television. I came home from school one day as a boy and there it was in our den. I sprawled out in the floor and watched the Sergeant Jack Show, featuring Dick Tracy cartoons, on Channel 42 out of Birmingham. I was enthralled. I was drawn in to the screen and...

WORSHIP
Consider your worship. In the first 22 weeks of 2024, what worship moments have been most memorable to you? Worship is an easy word to ignore. It's wrapped in plain brown paper. We imagine we could guess the content of today's Table without opening or listening. Yet, it's the very thing that can...

NAVIGATING YOUR SOUL
I like the word navigate. I like the images that come to mind when I ponder that word. It falls into a category of simplicity, of a way of life that brims with more intensity, with more pure oxygen than any artificial substitute our culture keeps seducing us to embrace. To navigate is to know…

JUST AN ORDINARY DAY
Today is March 14, 2024. It's just an ordinary day. It's not the Oscars. Not yet the Ides of March or St. Patrick's Day. A little too early for Spring Equinox or Palm Sunday. It's just an ordinary day in your life. Or is it? Do you know what happened on all the March 14ths of your life? Because...

SOUL DOWN
Soul down. Not as in, "Why are you downcast, O my soul?" (Psalm 43:5), but more like "Slow your soul down." You are carrying way too much weight. You are accelerating at way too fast a speed. Soul down. You will need a deeper anchor to navigate all you are called to do in any given day, as well…

THE TIME OF BEING STILL
Twenty-five years ago, I came across an article about Taos Pueblo in Northern New Mexico. Every year the Pueblo Indians who live around Taos observe "the time of being still." From December 15th to January 15th, the pueblo shuts down from the normal hustle and bustle of everyday life and observes…

CHRISTMAS AT WAFFLE HOUSE
